Kurukshetra ( mind and physical world – Sansar ) is where good and evil collide.
Meditation is an exposure to Dharma – our true built-in nature.
Bringing Dharma into our life turns Kurukshetra into Dharmakshetra.
Consciousness is purity.
Consciousness is divinity.
Consciousness is our built-in righteousness.
Arjun became a winner by turning the Kurukshetra into Dharmakshetra.
We are Arjun.
Our hero need not be Krishna ( yet ).
Our hero should be Arjuna because we can relate to him.
To become an ideal Arjun, we need –
1. Awareness of the conflicts of our life. ( Vishaad ) ( Restlessness ) – the essential step without which the spark does not ignite.
2. Acceptance of our inability to deal with these conflicts. ( “ I don’t know “ ). ( Ego realizing its own limits ).
3. Turning to the higher self. ( “ Acceptance of something higher than me.” – Humility – the opposite of Ego. ).
4. Devotion to the divine. ( Acceptance of it as the Supreme ).
5. Bhakti. ( very difficult to translate into English.
Bhakti is NOT singing His glory or dancing to the tunes.
Bhakti is BECOMING ONE with it – NO SEPARATION – 24×7.
Genuine gratitude expresses itself as Bhakti, and that is true Bhakti.
( 99% of the Bhakti is without these crucial steps, and it is not Bhakti ).
Following these steps turns Kurukshetra into Dharmakshetra.
